Reno Omokri has reacted to the visit of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Omokri,an ex-aide to the former president, via a post on his Twitter page on Wednesday, hailed Jonathan’s composure amid what he described as attacks on him by Tinubu from 2010 to 2015.
He said the ex-President never bore a grudge despite the APC presidential candidate’s attacks, describing Jonathan as the best leader Nigeria had.
“H.E @GEJonathan, the best leader that Nigeria ever had. Look at his Godly gesture. Bola @officialABAT spent the five years between 2010-2015 insulting, attacking and lying against Jonathan. Even after GEJ left office, he continued. Yet, Jonathan never bore a grudge,” he wrote.
Tinubu paid a scheduled visit to Jonathan at his Abuja residence on Tuesday night.
The meeting, which was held behind closed door, was in continuation of Tinubu’s nationwide consultation with critical stakeholders.
Tinubu, who was accompanied by his running mate, Senator Kashim Shetimma, led a delegation of five APC governors. They include the governor of Plateau State and Director-General of his Presidential Campaign Council, Simon Lalong; Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun; Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle; Jigawa State Governor, Abubakar Badaru and Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.
